Migrate RHEL into OEL

700137Aug 12 2010 — edited Aug 27 2010

Hello All,
I have database server along with oracle 10gR2(10.2.0.4) in RHEL4. It's needed to upgrade into Oracle Enterprise Linux(OEL,unbreakable linux) from RedHat Entrprise Linux(RHEL4). Oracle claims that transition to OEL is very easy, voice of oracle regarding upgrade is as follows:
*"Transition is very easy. Existing Red Hat and Novell Linux customers who move to the Unbreakable Linux support program may receive credit for the remainder of their existing support contract. Please see Oracle’s Linux Support Policies for important information regarding this offer.*
From a technical perspective, for systems where RHEL3, RHEL4, or RHEL5 are installed, customers need to only download the “up2date” program from the Unbreakable Linux Network, and run that program on each system. No reinstall is necessary. From that point on, the customer will receive bug fixes and new versions through Oracle’s Unbreakable Linux Network."+

It seems that some kind of executable/binaries is needed to execute in OS level to migrate into OEL, please correct me if I am wrong.

Can anyone suggest comprehensive solution for this?

Thanks in Advance for all contributors.

Regards,
Suresh Gautam
